The past week has been tumultuous, with DSTB bugs, yoda mythic backlash, hSTR, etc. But some of you folks have definitely overreacted...

YODA MYTHIC

firstly: NOBODY lost any rewards. We're all just assuming that the next time it shows up, there won't be any mods. Now, this definitely may be true, but all they're saying is that they will remove mods until they figure out how to display the thing properly. this DOES NOT AFFECT ALL MYTHICS, so calm down.

DSTB

The "substantial makegood" has yet to show up. If it's bad, I'll be handing out pitchforks, but let's just wait and see. If they compensate us properly, there's no need to get pre-emptively upset.

hSTR

DISCLAIMER: this refers to players who have a GP of about 1.5-2M or above (i.e. played through the CLS meta or before)

The arena teams you've possibly built include Titans, Nightsisters, RJT, zzEP, or the like. RJT murders P1, zzEP can get you 2%, Titans nets 3/5 for Chex Mix, and you're more or less Heroic ready.

TB has already made clear they want strong players to band together and weaker ones to stick together. hSTR is just another step in this direction.

If you're a whale, move to a proper guild. If you're someone who thinks he's not heroic ready, look through your roster, build 3-4 teams and put forth an application on any of the guild recruitment areas.

If you want to play with friends, fine, but don't expect to get Traya or G12+.

I completely agree with you about DSTB. Let's wait and see. Although to be fair CG has not always done a good job of this and by some recent comments may not understand what is actually useful to the player base so I understand the concern here. But people should wait and see but have the pitchforks ready.

The Yoda thing they botched completely. No it does not affect all Mythics. No nobody lost any rewards. So all they had to say was there was some misunderstand for the Yoda Mythic rewards so we need to take a look at this for next time. Jumping the gun and saying we are taking Mods out of the rewards is **** because there are some easy fixes that are already in the game or they could come up with something else before it comes around next time so the community might not have needed to know anything. Then they doubled down on it saying mods are the least valuable reward. That right there showed the disconnect they have with the player base and even the game outside of the vacuum they test it in. Everyone knows that mods make the difference and speed rules. CG just showed they have no understanding of that. On top of it they addressed an issue that was brought up by a small number of people whereas their exist pages with dozens of complaints that they have not even said they are taking a look at. Because apparently those who complain the most the quickest will get attention. CG just opened Pandora's Box that they have to own up to.

Your HSR point is trying to simply a complicated issue. So not going to spend the time on this.

I honestly think the removal of the mods from the Yoda mythic event was a retaliatory action against the obnoxiousness of people complaining about the rewards from a relatively easy event. I don't blame them. They designed the game. They know the importance of mods.
